Day 7 of #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas

Thanks so much for stopping by CarleeMcDot.com today. Whether you've been following along on my journey since I started this blog OVERELEVENYEARSAGO or you stopped by for the first time today - WELCOME!

And no matter how long you've been visiting, you picked an AMAZING time to pop in because we're celebrating my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas {read my post announcing this series HERE if you don't know what I'm talking about}.

Today is Day 7 of my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas! And the prize today is pretty FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! Although, to be honest, all of the prizes are AMAZEBALLS! If I could enter my own giveaways I'm pretty sure I would enter each and every one of them in this series because they are just that awesome.

For today, DAY SEVEN, seven winners will be selected, each winning a motivate wrap of their choice from Momentum.

If you've been around these parts for a while, you know I love me some #WristCandy! And Momentum Jewelry is one of my favorite companies when it comes to adding to my #ArmParty. Why, you may ask? Well, for quite a few reasons. First, because who couldn't use their own personal cheerleader on their wrist when the run or workout gets tough? Next, because the wraps are so comfy that I don't even realize they're there (till I look down for that little boost of support or kick in the pants that I need). Also, because everything is made in the USA and hand-crafted with love!

Entering this giveaway (along with the other #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas giveaways) is easy-peasy! Simply use the Rafflecopter widget listed below on the giveaway blog post and cross your fingers. Some entries are available daily so I'd HIGHLY recommend entering early and often. (Shoot, I would even go as far as suggesting you set an alarm to remind you to come back to this page every 24 hours so you can take advantage of as many entries as possible!)

a Rafflecopter giveawayNow, the nitty gritty details... All entries are verified, so please make sure to do whatever the required action for the entry is or it will be disqualified. I would hate for you to miss out on winning due to a technicality, so if you are going to click the option, make sure you do whatever it asks or a new, random winner will be selected in your place.

Also, this giveaway will last seven days, with the winners being picked (and notified) on the eighth day. The winners will have 24 hours to reply to the congratulations email from me to claim their prize. That means, for this giveaway, it will end on December 13th at 11:59pm PST and the SEVEN winners will be chosen on December 14th.And, finally, the winners must have a US mailing address. International shipping seems to cost an arm and a leg these days, and customs is a major headache, so to make it easier (and cheaper) on the brands who have offered up their products, the winners must live in United States of America (or at least have an address we can ship to within the US).

With that said, BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERS! And don't forget to stop back tomorrow to see what is up next in my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas (I promise you do NOT want to miss out on any of these giveaways!)!

PS Just in case you aren't one of the SEVEN lucky winners, you can still use coupon code "sharetheSPARK2018" for 15% off your order (because EVERYONE is a WINNER in my book)! So go get your shop on and save a few dollars in the process! The code doesn't expire until March 31st, 2018, but don't wait to order - these are great stocking stuffers!

I remember ordering my very first wrap at the beginning of 2017: LIVE joyfully. I wanted this year to be full of joy, and since running was such a big part of my life, i needed to carry that through while running too. These have become one of my favorite accessories and helpful “friends” in keeping me positive and encouraged!

When I was younger it was Carpe Diem, and I've decided I need to adopt it again. I've lost too many people the last couple years and wondered if they had regrets. So I'm seizing the day, I've signed up for a Tough Mudder, trying to decide which half I want to do first, and looking at skydiving with my sister or husband.

I’ve thought about this before and mine would say “one step closer” because not only is it one of my favorite LP songs, it’s something I say to myself to stay motivated. You are always one step closer than you were before. ❤️����‍♀️

I would get one to say, “Run the mile you’re in.” That mantra helped me through my most recent marathon so I didn’t get overwhelmed thinking about how much was left! It also applies to life outside of running - keeps the focus on the present.

Nevertheless, she persisted! I have it tattooed on my right ribs (it's my first tattoo, but it is a constant reminder for all aspects of life). Having a motivate wrap to add to my collection with that mantra on it would be fabulous!

So hard to narrow it down...I have many mantras!!! "You can do this" or "You are strong" and a couple that I find myself saying in my head when I feel my legs wanting to give up. I have been coveting these wraps for such a long time...I keep putting them on my wishlist but the gift givers are not getting the hint---LOL!!

Another one of those things that I have wanted for forever but wouldn't let myself buy because I was in grad school and a new mom. Grad school is over in 2 weeks and I am a mom for life so no time like the present. Haha!

I would get "Just Breathe" because it's something a I have to remind myself to do everyday. There is a song by Ryan Star called Breathe that is one of my favorites and it's just such an uplifting reminder to live the life you want and not worry about the chatter from people who don't care about you. Just something that really speaks to me <3

I love Momentum Jewerly, and wish I discovered them sooner! I first purchased the run and be happy motivational wrap last year which soon became my inspiration for my instagram handle. Already have 5 and counting wraps and just purchased a footnote.

"Just keep running" as that is what I tell myself when it gets hard(in a Dory voice, or course :) or "Run strong" as that is the last thing my husband says to me when I leave to go for a run, and it always sticks with me.
